Hi can anyone advise if I can upgrade the GVM on my 2016 Kakadu and can you recommend anyone in NSW who does it? Thanks

If you search this forum you will find references to the ARB dealer in Cooma doing this, but it's a long way from the Coffs Coast. I seem to recall that there are others.

I have explored this option for my MY21 Kak, but have done nothing so far. Some people have done this in conjunction with a lift, and ended up with a KDSS lean, which I most definitely do not want. If I attempt it at some stage, my plan is just to put in heavier duty air bags, and try my luck with that. Last time I explored this the air bags were not available, and in the ACT I was going to have to put the third row seats back in temporarily for certification, which would be tedious. Either that or remove the seat belts and have it certified as a 5 seater, which I was not prepared to do. So I put in in the too hard basket, but it's something that I'd like to do at some stage, and so am interested in other's experiences.

You can upgrade the GVM of your 2016 Toyota Land Cruiser Kakadu by enhancing its suspension system and ensuring compliance with Australian Design Rules (ADR). Reputable workshops in NSW for GVM upgrades include Lovells Springs, ARB 4x4 Accessories, and Tough Dog Suspension.

Thanks would be too big a task to remove the drawer system and put seats back...I'm in the same boat. Never an easy solution
